MARCH THOUGHT.

(An After-thawt.)

Martiis quid agam Kalendis?

First thing the broken pipes to mend is.

The leek upon St. David's day

Fluellen's doughty kin display,

But England, fraught with cans and pails,

This March is all at one with Wales.

While plumbers play their hide-and-seek

We all must grin and bear the leak.
